Sabrina and Corina: Stories by Kali Fajardo-Anstine

BOOK: 5 OF 2021

RATING: 5/5

One of my first books of 2021 will definitely be a favourite when I reflect on my books read at the end of the year.

Sabrina & Corina is a collection of stories centering on Latinas of Indigenous ancestry in Denver, Colorado exploring abandonment, heritage, family and colonialism. Fajardo-Anstine is a magnificent writer and storyteller. Every story is so vivid, the relationships between characters are so fleshed out that even though you're only exposed to a few of their interactions it feels like you've read a novel about them. I would GLADLY read a 500 page book on any of these stories.

Just such a beautiful collection - I can't say this enough!
